For decades, the global defense market was highly predictable: the United States dominated the high-end hardware, while Russia supplied the rest of the world with cheaper alternatives.

From India and Indonesia to Greece and the UAE, global governments are lining up to buy French weapons, specifically the battle-tested Rafale fighter jet. But why is this happening so fast? In this video, we break down the collapse of Russia's defense pipeline under heavy sanctions, why world powers are terrified of relying entirely on American weapons with political strings attached, and how Paris mastered the art of offering advanced technology with absolute strategic autonomy.
